I think that is what makes it a really exciting race. It isn't just about cycling fast its about travelling and navigating fast. Gives it a wacky racer feel. Different type of race though isn't it

Totally agree. Is more an adventure race rather than a pure endurance test. Great event.
Good luck skinny!

Agreed. It does add an element of luck and potential unfairness into it, so less of a pure speed/distance cycle race, but the navigating element makes it more interesting/exciting adventure race to follow.

Yeah, I dunno, this is the issue I mentioned with route choice. Being the faster rider but losing because you picked a worse route would suck. It doesn't matter how much research you do, there could always been changes in road conditions that ruin it for some riders.
